Gu Jinglian obviously noticed her flushed face. Although she had a scarlet rouge applied on her face, he could, nevertheless, tell makeup from shyness!

  Gu Jinglian did not expose her shyness. Instead, he asked seriously, “Now, can I kiss my bride?”


  Chu He pursed her lips, but her shoulders shrank. She did not expect Gu Jinglian to be able to say such heart-stopping words, like other men. Except that when he said it, she didn’t feel at all that he was being frivolous. Instead, a sweet feeling welled up inside her.

  Seeing that she was not responding or giving an affirmative, the crowd started cheering enthusiastically. Gu Jinglian let out a rare smile. This was probably the first genuine smile he had shown since stepping into the house!

  “Close your eyes,” he said.

  Initially reluctant, Chu He finally closed her eyes as though in reflex, when Gu Jinglian’s burning gaze fell on her.

  The man lowered his head and gently sealed his lips over hers. This was the first time that he had kissed her so gently. It was just a light peck, but it sent her heart galloping, even more so than a passionate kiss.

  He was kissing her slowly, but Chu He felt her heart racing faster and faster, to the point that she almost could not breathe. The faster her heart beat, the more guilty she felt, as though she was afraid that the sound of her thumping heart would reach his ears.

  Gu Jinglian looked up at her smiling face. She thought for a moment that he must have heard her heartbeat. This made her feel even more ashamed.

  For countless times, she had confronted life and death situations, and had also passed through the gates of hell. However, no matter what soul-stirring experience she had had prior to now, she had always been unflinching. But now, the scarlet on her face deepened again and again, eventually becoming the most beautiful color in Gu Jinglian’s eyes.

  The man scooped her up in his arms, causing all the blood in her body to surge immediately. Her mind became a blank as she subconsciously lowered her head, burying her face in his chest. She could only hear someone laughing and saying, “The bride is shy!”


  “The bride is beautiful! But why does she look so flushed? Did they overdo the makeup?”


  Chu He lowered her head even more out of shyness when she heard this.

  After this, she could not remember how she got to the car. It was only when Gu Jinglian slid her into the backseat that she suddenly realized that she was already in the wedding car.

  Gu Jinglian was a little surprised to see her blushing so furiously. In his impression, Chu He was an extremely reserved person, but she was not someone who would blush easily. Perhaps she had always appeared as a cold person, but even Gu Jinglian did not expect that she would blush this much. However, in the presence of outsiders, he did not say anything. Only when they got into the car did the man start to tease her.

  “Why is your face so flushed?”


  It would have been better if he hadn’t said anything, but now that he did, Chu He felt even more uneasy. She raised her hand to touch her face and realized that it was very hot. She immediately explained, “Oh…… maybe…… it’s too hot!”


  “It’s not too sunny today. Why are you feeling so hot?”


  Gu Jinglian looked at her. “Is your gown very thick?”


  “Uh…… um.”


  She actually agreed.

  How could Gu Jinglian not see that she was blushing because she was shy? She was actually trying to convince him that it was because she felt too warm. Hence, he wanted to expose her lies and actually reached out to undo her buttons.

  “There’s no one else around now. Why don’t you remove some clothing for now?”
